Back to my alma mater! I was extremely honored to be the keynote speaker at the Kansas University Medical Center Global Health Week April 17. I was reminded once again of the extremely significant role the University played in my life. As a member of the first class of the KU PhD nursing program, I sometimes felt we were feeling our way together in the new curriculum. But without a doubt, my doctoral work laid the foundation for my passion in life -- working in the developing world with village women. I had the best of the best advising me, demanding excellence, and guiding me through the process. So many women throughout the world have benefited from the life-changing educational experience KU provided for me. Go Jayhawks!!
